"Timothy, Walking By Faith As A Youth" focuses on developing a consistent time in the Bible daily without feeling overwhelmed. The studies are written for about 15 minutes per day. There are some cross references for a beginning to inductive Bible study method, although not like the subsequent studies will be in this series. The Timothy study looks at relationships with one another, our attitude towards others, and how we live in a world of sin and wickedness.
"Titus, Pioneering for the Gospel" goes deeper with inductive Bible study and continuing as a 15 minute per day investment of time. As an inductive study, examining the original Greek words and references to other passages of scripture for further depth. The Timothy study has additional studies on Eternal life for a solid foundation in faith as well as looking into good works. Additionally are references to the previous study on 1st & 2nd Timothy.
I'm always writing new studies in the series.
This series starts with a focus on helping one to establish a consistent daily (quiet) time in the Word of God, gaining confidence through understanding.
Future studies will continue in this same manner, each study using an inductive Bible study method. Same format, directed SOAP and about 15 minutes per day. Each study will have references to other studies in the series and looking into some difficult passages through the Biblical lenses to allow for insight and deeper understanding.
Each Bible study will be at a pace designed for understanding of the Bible, about 15 minutes a day.
A directed SOAP style:
The goal of the study is for every person who reads it to grow in their personal faith and confidence in understanding the Bible. The skills learned through these studies can be applied to all Scripture.
Paul's Letters series begins with 1st & 2nd Timothy followed by Titus. Currently I am working on the 3rd in the series, Ephesians. Plans are for a total of 9 studies in the series. Each study is formulated for small groups, church ministries, family devotions, and discipling as a directed SOAP style study. Studies will vary in the number of weeks.
Why did I begin with the letters to Timothy & Titus?
These are the pastoral letters which help outline guidelines for churches. They also discuss the qualities for leadership. These letters help build our faith in Jesus Christ in a solid manner while looking at relationships with one another. (Horizontal relationships -- how we relate to others.)
Understanding the challenges we all meet in today's world, defined in 2 Timothy 3:1-5, we can be more aware of the pitfalls living in today's world through false beliefs about faith in Jesus Christ and God.
Throughout Paul's letters there are repeated warnings of false teachings/false doctrines.
This series is designed for all to grow in their faith through building on a firm foundation in Jesus Christ through 15 minutes a day in the Bible.
Continuing in Paul's letters series, the 2nd study in the series is Titus.
Titus, while a short book, is packed full of foundational truths confirming Paul's passion for strong churches built on a solid faith in Jesus Christ as well as an underlying emphasis on good works and understanding Eternal life. These are essential foundations of faith.
Salvation is NEVER based upon good works.
Salvation is only through accepting Jesus Christ as one's personal Savior in faith. Good works is a way of saying thank you for the gift of salvation.
This series is designed for all to grow in their faith through building on a firm foundation in Jesus Christ through 15 minutes a day in the Bible.
